The Majestic Mountains and Glacial Valleys of Serra da Estrela

My latest adventure took me to Serra da Estrela, Portugal. This protected mountain range is home to some of the most stunning glacial valleys in all of Europe. As I traversed the rugged terrain, I was struck by the sheer scale of these valleys, which were formed by shifting glaciers thousands of years ago. But it's not just the valleys that make this place special. The mountain range itself is a marvel, with jagged peaks that stretch up into the sky. From the summit, I was able to gaze out at a vast expanse of land stretching all the way to the horizon. In addition to its natural wonders, Serra da Estrela is also steeped in history and culture. In nearby towns, I discovered ancient ruins, traditional crafts, and delicious local cuisine. This is truly a place that has it all.
